متن کاملCounterfactuals and Epistemic Probability
Philosophers have often attempted to use counterfactual conditionals to analyze probability. This article focuses on counterfactual analyzes of epistemic probability by Alvin Plantinga and Peter van Inwagen. I argue that a certain type of counterfactual situation creates problems for these analyses. I then argue that Plantinga’s intuition about the role of warrant in epistemic probability is mi...
متن کاملEpistemic Modals, Qualitative Probability, and Nonstandard Probability
Yalcin [23] shows that Kratzer’s model [5] does not validate some intuitively valid inferences and validates some intuitively invalid ones. He adopts a model based directly on a probability measure. However, as Kratzer [6] says, ‘Our semantic knowledge alone does not give us the precise quantitative notions of probability and desirability that mathematicians and scientists work with’, Yalcin’s ...
متن کاملRobustness-based portfolio optimization under epistemic uncertainty
In this paper, we propose formulations and algorithms for robust portfolio optimization under both aleatory uncertainty (i.e., natural variability) and epistemic uncertainty (i.e., imprecise probabilistic information) arising from interval data. Epistemic uncertainty is represented using two approaches: (1) moment bounding approach and (2) likelihood-based approach. This paper first proposes a ...
متن کاملEpistemic Probability Logic Simplified
We propose a logic for reasoning about (multi-agent) epistemic probability models, and for epistemic probabilistic model checking. Epistemic probability models are multi-agent Kripke models that assign to each agent an equivalence relation on worlds, together with function from worlds to positive rationals (a lottery). The difference with the usual approach is that probability is linked to know...
